MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Your Shredder has been designed for a low level of main- tenance, involving routine cleaning and inspection. The motor of the Shredder is maintenance free and requires no attention. For the best results the blades must be kept sharp at all times. The blades have dramatically less cut- ting power when blunt.
The Shredder will tear rather than cut when the blades are blunt. When this occurs rotate the double sided blades or replace the blades immediately.
